LINDEGREN MULTICOLOR WEFT REPLENISHING mmcrmmsm Filed Jan. 5, 1929 N Mi \n 5.9 i I and2thereis located between the rearflange Referring to Figs. 1,2 and 3,1 have shown an inside magazine plate 10 which may be supported in any approved manner by means not shown. From said plate extend tie rods 11 on the outer ends of which are supported an outer plate 12, the latter plate being provided with vertical guideways 13 for the tips 14: of the bobbins B, said guideways direct-' ing thetips of the bobbins downwardly towardtransfer. position. p The'plate 10, as shown more particularly in Figs. 1 and 2, is provided with side flanges r The matter thusfar described is of coinmon construction and forms no part of my 20.

present invention, being substantially the same'as that shownin prior Patent No.. 1,030,- M8 ,towhich referencemay be had for a more "complete disclosure of the magazine andits p ration I v In order todefine proper spaces for the' movementof individualstacks ofbobbins I insert between the" central flanges 17 and the outside flanges removable strips or partitions which define with the flanges the necessary bobbin. compartments.

I I tion held mposition by scr ews 31. r I Said partition is so formed, however, as to define a relatively narrow bobbin butt guide 32'and V i asecondguideway 83 which is, substantially vof the .sanieQwidth as those definedjby partition with flanges, '16; and-17. Thescrews preferably passthrough openings 34 which are centrally.disposed withirespect to the central flanges and the outside flanges so. that when the removable partition of the form 2Qisemployed two compartments orv ways ;of equal widths will be defined. p .As shown in Figs. ,1, Qand 3 the partition 1 30 acts to define a compartmentfora single stack of relatively small bobbins, S which may have wound thereon silk', rayon or any form .of yarn whlch is customarily wound: ona

. As. sh'owninl Fig. t'l ha've ead a third form of partition .40 whichmay formtwo relativ'ely' narrow compartments 41' and 42. It

. is tofbe, understood that inthe weaving of mixed fabrics there may be a decorative stripe of only one colonin which case the form. of

ma zine shown in Figs.2 and 3 willbe employed, or there may be decorative stripes of two colors in which case the form of magazine shown in Fig. 4 will be employed.

It will be readily seen that the magazine may be adapted. to the use of one or two distinctive decorative yarns, according to which is desired, without changing the major castings of the magazine as formed. By combining the'strip 30 with the strip 4 0, for nstance, it will be possible to make a magazine having three decorative stripes of fineyarn of different characteristics, there belng' one.

body filling to be made of the larger cotton or worsted yarn. 7

From the for-egoingit willbe seen that I have provided a very. simple means for enabling the user of a'magazine made according to my present invention to employ bob- =bins having smaller-butt diameters than is usual when weaving cotton or worsted and that by a proper choice of the partitions any desired number. of different decorative magazine. It will also beiseen that the sepa-. V

rate,partitions, which may be made of any desired material, facilitatethe casting. for the inside plate 10. 7 .While there is some variation also in the diameter of the tips of the bobbins yet this variation is not objeoti0nable,but if desired theprinciple set forth herein may be eatended to the outside plate of'the-magazine.

Having thus described myjinvention it will be seen that changes and modifications may be made therein'by those skilled in the. art without departing from the spiritfand scope of the invention" and I do notjwish to be limited to the what I claim is:
